Is your home ready for a Level 2 charger?
Most homes can add one. What changes is how much work it takes. Tap what applies and see what we’ll plan for at your free estimate. Nothing you tap is saved or sent.
Your plan
Tap anything that applies.
Nothing tapped? Many homes need only a dedicated 240-volt circuit and the charger.
From your panel to your parking spot
A Level 2 charger draws a lot of power for hours at a time, so it gets its own circuit. Here is what that circuit is, step by step.
Not every charger needs a panel upgrade. If your panel is short on capacity, options can include a smaller charger setting, a load-management device, or a panel upgrade. We explain each option at the estimate.
Level 1, Level 2 or commercial?
Charging speed depends on the charger, the circuit and what your car can accept. For most homes, Level 2 is the practical answer.
240 volts · dedicated circuit
Level 2
The usual choice for home charging: much faster, typically overnight. Needs its own 240-volt circuit and breaker, sized for the charger.
Multi-port Level 2 and DC fast
Commercial
For businesses, apartments and parking. Multiple chargers, power sharing and, for DC fast charging, far more electrical capacity.

What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 uses a standard 120-volt outlet and charges slowly. Level 2 uses a dedicated 240-volt circuit and charges much faster, which is why it’s the usual choice for home charging.
